AUBURN, Ala. – The No. 13 LSU Women’s Basketball team (14-2, 2-1) will be back on the road on Sunday to take on Auburn (8-5, 0-2) at 4 p.m. CT in Auburn Arena.

The Tigers had their 13-game win streak snapped on Thursday when they fell to No. 1 South Carolina at the PMAC and now they will look to rebound on the road. LSU has shown the ability to play well away from home with a 2-0 record in road games and 4-0 record in neutral site games. The Tigers won their SEC opener in Athens over then No. 13 Georgia.

Sunday’s game will be televised on the SEC Network with Eric Frede and Christy Thomaskutty on the call. Patrick Wright will be live from Auburn Arena with Jeff Palermo on the LSU Sports Radio Network, 107.3 FM in Baton Rouge,

Khayla Pointer shined against the top-ranked Gamecocks, making 10 shots, and scoring 22 points. Pointer has played all 40 minutes in each of LSU’s past three games and leads the SEC in minutes per game this season. She has been critical to LSU’s success this year as one the the best guards in the SEC. Pointer has scored double-digits in six straight games.

Alexis Morris has been LSU’s other main scoring threat. She transferred to LSU from Texas A&M and put up a career-high 30 points last Sunday against the Aggies. In her first season at LSU Morris has stepped into a scoring role and has scored double-digit points in 13 of her 14 games this season.

Auburn features the third best scorer in the SEC in Aicha Coulibaly who is putting up 17.9 points per game. She also leads Auburn with 8.2 rebounds per game. Honesty Scott-Grayson, who player her freshman year at Baylor for Coach Mulkey, averaged 13 points per game and Sania Wells scored 11.3 per game.

Looks like they're solid but relaxed for the start.

Kim has worked a miracle on Aifuwa, never seen her look better.

This is so right. She has gotten so much better especially with her mid-range/free throw line jumper

Auburn's defense is pretty porous

This team is legit with the leftovers from the last regime. The sky is the limit moving forward

I wish Cherry was more consistent offensively. She does hustle though every play

Auburn beat top 25 Ga Tech but they shot lights out, they usually are poor shooters so keep the D on.

Wonder what Dawn Staley will have to say about the Auburn coach... she was an assistant at A&M and Mississippi State. A&M practiced in our gym when they were having a new floor put in and I watched her and wondered why anyone would hire her...

Harris was very highly thought of as an assistant under Schaefer.

I would have been happy to see Faustine increase her percentage on put backs. Hell, she’s now deadly from anywhere in the bottom half of the paint.

Got sloppy in the last five minutes of the quarter. Not a big deal but can’t make it a habit.

That's true, but when Vic was Gary Blair's assistant, I wasn't impressed at all with Johnnie...

My thoughts about Vic Schaefer will come at another time.

Yep, one would think they would be more consistent with their height advantage. Lucky Auburn is cold.
